Executive Host and Artistic Director

New Year New You! That will be my motto for 2015…

T h i s y e a r I ’ m re a l l y e x c i t e d t o collaborate with new artists and event concepts but also to continue our successful collaboration with our regular performers who have delivered popular entertainment and have contributed to our growing success throughout the years.

January is usually a month where people recover from exhausting end of year celebrations and make their new resolutions. Ours is to keep on being different and unique, and to find the best and most original talent.

February is a buzzing month in London. By night this vibrant city will be hosting London Fashion Week. But let’s not forget that February is also the month of love. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, an evening of love songs will be performed in PRIMO by the talented Deelee Dube and Renato D’Aiello’s band – enjoy with our Cupid’s Cocktail!

Once again the team from PRIMO Bar wish you a Happy New Year and all the best for 2015!

Oliver Bleckmann Bar Manager

WOW! It is hard to believe but here we are. The old year went out with a bang!

January is a time to reflect. If your new year’s resolution was to drink less alcohol, join us for our new menu of creative mocktails using detoxifying ingredients such as pineapple or ginger. We are also increasing our selection of wine served by the glass, which have been specifically chosen to complement our food offering.

For February we have created an exclusive Valentine’s Cupid’s cocktail and can assure you it is delicious and it tastes even better with our 2-4-1 Overtime Offer *.

Everyone here at PRIMO Bar is looking forward to welcoming you to what looks a very exciting 2015. *Drink responsibly – drinkaware.co.uk

Interview with ALEX CHARLES COULD YOU PLEASE TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND?

WHO WOULD YOU LOVE TO PERFORM WITH?

AMONG ALL YOUR COLLABORATIONS, WHO INSPIRED YOU THE MOST?

I’m a UK born Singer, Songwriter and Entertainer, from both the Dominican Republic and South London. Throughout the 80’s and 90’s I had a number of R&B hits, as the front man of the internationally recognized Soul band Heatwave with songs like ‘Always and Forever’ and ‘Mind Blowing Decisions’. After 20 years with the band, I have since left to pursue my solo career.

I’ve enjoyed working alongside the late Edwin Starr. His voice and dedication to his work is very admirable. He was such a gentleman when I met with him over twenty years ago, and was a great contributing factor to my growing confidence by likening me to his close friend Jackie Wilson. As you can imagine, a compliment like this added fuel to my creative fire.

WHAT ARE YOUR INFLUENCES?

W H AT I S T H E L A S T M U S I C YO U BOUGHT?

I have been influenced by the likes of James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Michael Jackson, Steve Wonder and Elvis Presley. These men still influence the industry and musical performance today. I love the fact that they were gimmick free, with no fake publicity or wildly technical camera tricks. It was all in the performance.

The last album I bought was Stevie Wonder’s ‘A Time to Love’. I have to say, it isn’t in my opinion his greatest album but there are some real gems on there like ‘I can’t imagine love without you’ and ‘Passionate Raindrops’. I also love Pharrell’s ‘Happy’ yes I bought it!

Stevie Wonder is an artist I would love to not only to sing with but to write and record with too. He is an icon. I met him briefly at Wembley Arena and had the privilege of shaking his hand. I didn’t touch anything with my right hand until I got home! I laid that hand on my synthesizer and drum machine and felt inspired to write a really cool song. One day the world may hear it.

YOU PERFORM REGULARLY AT PRIMO. CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THE SHOW?

I pay tribute to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

I’ve been doing this once a month for just over a year. It is a great experience and the audience seems to enjoy themselves – it’s a fantastic workout! I don’t do the moonwalk however, as it’s not a typical MJ tribute. I want to emphasise the songs, stripped back from the production.

Do you have any new projects or releases in the pipeline?

I have a new single to be released in the New Year, titled ‘Girl you’re really wonderful’. I’m looking forward to seeing the reaction to it.

I’ve also been working in the studio with UK soul legend Junior Giscombe and UK R&B artist DonE on their British Collective Project. Their first single ‘Romantic’ is already quite popular in the charts.

CELEBRATE THIS VALENTINE’S DAY IN A CHOCOHOLIC DREAM! Indulge your partner with our three-course chocolate inspired menu at £49.00 per person.

Zalon

CREATIVITY at PRIMO will feature a selection of some of the best artists, musicians and creatives in the UK.

Singer songwriter born and raised in Manchester, Chris has been singing all his life and is heavily influenced by soul jazz and gospel. Despite no musical background in his family Chris knew his place was on the stage whether in theatre or popular music. Chris was fortunate to be part of the success of Channel 4’s Musicool, and he has worked with touring with artists opening for acts such as Neyo and T-Pain not to mention touring with Josh Groban as a backing vocalist for his sold out UK tour. Now he lives in London where he is currently working his first EP.

Zalon is a soulful singer, making you fall in love with music again. Many recognise him as the lead backing vocalist to Amy Winehouse, contributing to the phenomenal platinum success, historical five Grammies win, plus an accolade of awards. Singing a l o n g s i d e s o m e o f t h e w o r l d ’s biggest artists, has led him to being photographed and interviewed by the media all over the world. Watch out for Zalon’s album co-produced with Grammy winner Mark Ronson releasing later this year.
